Adelaide made her way through the entrance of the grill, she quickly looked around for either Caroline or Matt. Adelaide spotted Matt first, who was with Bonnie, so she headed towards them." Hey Matty, Hey Bonnie." Adelaide called out with a smile once she was close enough.
Matt turned around in his chair at her voice and smiled at her." Hey." Matt said with a sad voice. Adelaide gave Matt´s shoulder a squeeze before sitting across from Bonnie. Adelaide knew that Matt was still hurting from his breakup with Elena.
"How´s Elena doing?" Matt asked the two girls.
Bonnie looked towards Adelaide before turning to Matt. Her mom and dad just died. How do you think?" Bonnie sighed. She´s putting on a good face, but it´s only been four months."
Adelaide her head in agreement." She´s till trying to cope with losing our parents and i know she blames herself for what happened to me." She explained." It´s rough, but she´s trying to deal with it as best as she can."
"Has she said anything about me?"
Adelaide shook her head." I´m not getting in the middel of this whole thing." She sighed as she looked at Matt." Look, you´re my friend, but Elena is my sister. If you want to know, then you´re going to gave to ask her youself."
"I feel weird calling her." Matt explained." She broke up with me."
"Give her sometime Matt." Adelaide told him.
Matt nodded his head before he noticed Bonnie´s attention was focused on the front door of the grill. He looked in the direction Bonnie was looking at, and he saw Elena walk in with Stefan." More time, huh?" Matt said before he stood up from the table and walked away.
Later that night, as the restaurant began to settle down, the Gilbert sister sat around a table with their friends and the new resident of Mystic falls. Stefan Salavore.
There was something about Stefan that was so familiar to Adelaide but she didn´t know what it was because she had never seen the guy before to day.
"So, you were born in Mystic falls?" Caroline questioned as she started at Stefan with a smile on her face.
"Mm-hmm." Stefan nodded his head." And moved when i was younger.
"Parents?" Bonnie questioned.
"My parents passed away.
Adelaide looked up at Stefan." I´m sorry."
Stefan smiled at Adelaide before he turned towards Elena when she questioned." Any siblings?"
Stefan shook his head." None that i talk to." He explained." I live with my uncle."
"So, Stefan, of you´re new, then you don´t know about the party tomorrow." Caroline asked him.
"It´s a back to school thing at the falls." Bonnie explained as she saw the confused look in Stefan´s face."
Stefan looked over at Elena with a smile as he asked." Are you going?"
"Of course she is." Adelaide quickly told Stefan before Elena could open her mouth.
Adelaide siged as she threw her tried body onto her warm bed, she closed her eyes just as someone knocked on her bedroom door.
"Come in!"
The door opened and Jenna walked in." How was the first day came?" She questioned.
"It was okay." Adelaide told her.
"Elena told me about the headaches." Jenna said as she walked over and sat down on her bed and moved some hair away from her face.
"Yeah, but it was nothing i couldn´t handle."
"Maybe we should have a doctor check you out." Jenna said with a worried look on her face.
"Aunt Jenna. I´m fine." Adelaide said as she took her hand into her own." I promise you i will come to you if it gets worse."
"I feel like we already had this conversation before." Jenna told her.
Adelaide rolled her eyes before she said."We did. This morning."
"We, just worry about you." Jenna told her as she lifted her hand to her lips and kissed it." I don´t know what they would have done if we had lose you too." Jenna said as tear fall down her cheek." Losing your mom and dad was bad enough but losing you." Jenna shook her head." I don´t think they would survive losing you."
"But you didn´t and you wont." Adelaide said as she pulled Jenna into a hug." I´m not going anywhere anytime soon. Okay."
"Okay." Jenna said with a smile." Good night honey." Jenna said as she stood up and walked out of her bedroom.
"Night aunt Jenna!" Adelaide shouted as Jenna closed the door and she laid back down and it didn´t take long before she was fast asleep.
"You can´t catch me!" Adelaide laughed as she ran towards the field behind her familys house.
"How the hell did you got so fast." The man yelled as he ran after her.
"Come on, loser." She shouted at the man as she ran across the field.
"That´s it!" The man yelled as he pushed himself to run and he was only a few feet behind her and he jumped at her and before either of them realized what was happening, and they were rolling down the hill
"Okay, you got me." Adelaide laughed as she landed ontop of the young man.
"I want to court you" The man told her.
"What?" She asked with a confused look on her face." I though that you and Tatia was..."
"No." The man said shaking his head." I though that i was Tatia i wanted but then i realized something a few nights ago.
"What was that?"
"That the person that holds my heart was right in front of me the whole time." He said as he moved a piece of hair behind her ear.
"Elijah."
"I want to court you and only you Ada."
Adelaide nodded her head." Yes."
"Yes." The man asked with a big smile on his face.
"Yes." Adelaide said as she leaned down and moved her lips against his.
Adelaide gasped as she sat up in her bed and looked around her bedroom." What the hell?" She asked herself before she laied back down and tried to fall back to sleep, when all of the sudden the sound of twigs been being snapped traveled to her ears. Her eyes opened wide and she quickly got out of her bed and made her way over to her bedroom window, she opened the window and leaned out and she looked around the backyard. Her eyes landed on a shadow figure that was standing under the big mable tree, she rubbed her eyes and when she looked back, the figure was nowhere to bee seen.
"I´m losing my mind." Adelaide mumbled as quickly closed the window and got back into her bed not seen the figure returning back under the mable tree staring up at her window.
"The battle of Willow Creek took place right at the end of the war in our very own town Mystic Falls." mister Tanner stated as he looked around the class room." How many casualtied in this battle? Miss Bennett?"
Bonnie looked up from her notebook in surprise." Um...A lot?" She looked at mister Tanner." I´m not sure. Like a lot?"
Mister Tanner stared hard at Bonnie as he spoke." Cute becomes dumb in an instant, Miss Bennett." He looked around the class before stopping at Matt. "mister Donovan? Would you like to take this opportunity to overcome your embedded jock stereotype?"
"It´s okay, Mister Tanner, I´m cool with it." Matt told mister Tanner with a smile on his face.
Elena shook her head." I´m sorry. I...I don´t know."
"I was willing to be lenient last year for obvious reasons, Elena. But personal excuses ended with summber break." Mister Tanner said as he turned his back to the class.
Adelaide started to push her chair away from her desk but all of the sudden she was stuck, she turned around in her chair and saw a foot on the back of her chair, she raised an eyebrow as she looked up at Matt, who where shaking his head at her.
"Mister Donovan, Miss Gilbert do i need to separate the two of you again?" Mister Tanner asked.
"No, sir." Adelaide said as she turned back around so she could face Tanner." You don´t have to be an..." Before she could finish her sentence, Stefan spoke.
"There were 346 casualties." Stefan said." Unless you´re counting local civilians." He added.
Mister Tanner nodded his head." That´s correct." He said as he looked at the young man." Mister?" He questioned as he pointed a finger at Stefan."
"Salvatore." Stefan said.
"Salvatore?." Mister Tanner said curiosly." Any relation to the original settlers here in Mystic Falls?"
Stefan paused before nodding his head." Distant."
"Well, very good." Mister Tanner said as he turned towards his desk before adding." Except, of course, there was no civilian casusalies in the battle."
"Actually there was 27, sir." Stefan corrected mister Tanner." Confederate soldiers, they fired on a church, they believing to house weapons." Stefan explained." They were wrong, it was a night of great loss." He looked at mister Tanner and as Tanner opened his mouth to say something. Stefan spoke again." The founder´s archives are uh, stored in Civil hall if you like to brush up on your facts, mister Tanner."
Mister Tanner smiled in embarrassment before he mumbled under his breath and walked back to his desk. The whole class couldn´t help but laugh at Mister Tanner since one one beside Adelaide had ever proving him wrong and it had cost her a week worth of detention last year.
The second bell rang and everyone was out of their chairs and quickly exited the class room. Adelaide made her way through the crowed hallway as she looked for Stefan.
"Stefan!" Adelaide shouted out as she spotted him and she quickly made her way towards him.
Stefan turned as he heard his name been called out and he turned to see Adelaide Gilbert walking towards him. He smiled as he slowed down so she could catch up to him.
"I just want to say think you for what you did back there." Adelaide told him as they walked down the hallway of the school.
Stefan nodded his head before he spoke." It was nothing."
Adelaide shook her head." No. It means a lot to me and i know it means a lot to Elena too."
"Well. Then i guess you´re welcome." Stefan told her with a smile on his face.
Adelaide was about to speak when all of the sudden she felt someone grab her by the arm, she turned to see who it was and she could feel anger rise with in her when she saw it was Tyler.
"What?"
"We need to talk." Tyler said a she began to drag her down the hallway. Adelaide turned her head and shouted." I hope to see you at the party!"
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Tyler questioned as he kep on dragging her down the hallway and before she realized what was going on he had pushed her into a class room and the second the door was closed he pushed her up against it.
"What is it with you Gilbert sisters and new guy? Ha!" Tyler asked her.
" What the hell is your problem?" Adelaide asked as she pushed him away from her, but what happened next scare
d her. Tyler pushed her back against the door." How many time do i have to tell you I´m sorry before you give me another chance to fix things between us."
"You never said sorry." Adelaide told him.
"What?" Tyler said with a confused look on his face.
"You never said you were sorry." Adelaide yelled into his face." You gave me every excuse in the book, but you never said you were sorry, you..." Before Adelaide could say anything else Tyler was kissing her.
"Don´t." Adelaide said as she tried to push Tyler off her." Ty...Tyler stop!" She finally got the strength to push him away from her and he stumbled backwards.
"Adelaide."
"Stay away from me." She told him as she pointed her finger at him.
"Adelaide, wait! "Tyler tried to grab hold of her hand.
"Don´t touch me!" Adelaide yelled before she turned around and opened the door and hurried out of the class room.
Once the sun had settle in the small town, all the teenagers was in the woods by the famous falls, for the past party of the year.
"I can´t believe you dragged me to this stupid party." Adelaide moaned as she stood with her sister and Bonnie watching the flames of the fire reach up into the sky. Adelaide had been looking forwards to this party but after her run in with Tyler all she wanted to do was eat a pint of ice-cream while she watch her favorite movie.
"What´s going on?" Bonnie questioned as she looked between the Gilbert sisters.
"Tyler made her cry." Elena told their friend.
"What did he do?"
"I don´t want to talk about Tyler. Can´t we talk about something else?"
"Sure." Bonnie said as she turned to Elena." Just admit it, Elena."
Elena chuckled."Oh, okay. He´s a little pretty."
"Are we talking about Stefan?" Adelaide asked as she turned towards her sister with a smile on her face.
"Yeah. He has that romance novel stare. Stefan looked deep into her eyes, piercing her very soul."
Elena rolled her eyes at the two of them before she pushed then playfully and joined in with the laugher that fall over them. Once Bonnie stopped laughing, she looked around the crowed." So, where is he?"
"I don´t know. You tell me. You´re the phychic one." Elena told her.
"Oh. nice one." Adelaide told her sister before she turned towards Bonnie and waited for her to respond.
"Right i forgot." Bonnie said as she closed her eyes." Okay, so give me a second. Grams says i have to concentrate."
"Wait! You need a crystal ball."Adelaide told her before she looked around the dark wood for a few second before she spotted an empty beer bottle laying around, she quickly picked the beer bottle up and made her way towards Bonnie as she held the bottle out for her to take.
Bonnie took the bottle, but as she did her fingers touch Adelaid´s fingers and she was pulled into a trance. Bonnie started at Adelaide with wide eyes.
"Bonnie?" Elena called out in worry as she watched Bonnie staring strangely at Adelaide.
Bonnie shook her head as she heard Elena calling out her name, with pulled her out of the trance she found herself in." That was werid. When i touch you, i saw you surrounded by bird. It looked like the were protecing you from something and then it switch to an old village on fire and people were running through the streets screaming and..."
"Oh, okay honey. You´re officially cut off." Adelaide cut in as she took the cup out of Bonnie´s hand and emptied it.
"You´re right." Bonnie said with a nervous laugh." I´m drunk. It´s the drinking." There´s nothing psychic about it."
"Yeah." Adelaide said as she looked around the crowed and spotted Jeremy." Hey. I´m going to hang with Jeremy for a bit." She said as she walked away.
Adelaide made her way towards Jeremy." Hey. Walk with me." She said as she linked her arm with his and they walked through the woods. They had been walking for a few minuets when they saw Tyler and Vicki up against a tree.
"Hey. Leave her alone!" Jeremy shouted as he noticed Vicki trying to shove him off.
"You know, you´re staring to get on my nerves, Gilbert." Tyler growled as he turned around to face Jeremy but he stopped what ever he was going to do when he saw Adelaide standing beside him.
"Just go Tyler, get the hell away from me." Vicki told him.
" Wow. Vicki Donovan says no." Tyler said before he turned back around and started to walk away but the words that came from Adelaide made him stop walking.
"You´re such an ass."
"And you´re being a bitch." He said as he turned around to face her.
"What did you say?" Jeremy asked as he took a step towards Tyler but he was being hold back by Adelaide.
"He´s not worth it." Adelaide told him.
"He dosen´t get to talk to you like that!" Jeremy said as he poined his finger at Tyler.
"Please."Adelaide begged him.
"Fine." Jeremy sighed as turned back around to see Tyler was gone." What is going..." He started to say as he turned back around to face his sister, who was also gone." Going on?"
Adelaide was about to leave the party when someone grabbed a hold of her arm, she turned around to see who it was and she groaned cause she could not deal with him right now." Tyler. I..."
"Can we talk, please." Tyler asked her.
"Tyler i don´t want to do this right now, okay." Adelaide told him as she turned to leave when suddenly she heard Elena calling out for help.
"Elena!" Adelaide shouted as she ran towards her sister and as she got closer she could see a large crowed starting to form as they looked towards the woods. Adelaide sees her sister hurried out of the woods with Jeremy follwoing close behind her with a limp Vicki in his arms.
"Vicki!" Matt whisered in shock." Vicki what the hell!" Matt yelled as he quickly made his way towards his sister.
"What happened to her?" Adelaide asked as she ran towards her siblings.
"Somebody call an ambulance!" Matt yelled out as he kept his eyes on his sister.
"It´s her neck." Adelaide said as she got down on her knees beside Vicki." Some thing bite her. She´s losing a lot of blood." Adelaide said as she quickly removed the scaf from around her neck and placed it against the wound on Vicki´s neck.
"Vicki. Vicki, come on." Matt pleaded desperatly as he looked down at his sister." Open your eyes and look at me."
20 minutes later, Adelaide stood next to Elena as they watched as Vicki was being loade into an ambulance by the paramedics and Matt followed behind them into the ambulance.
"Hey." Bonnie said." We´re going to the mainline coffee." She explained." Wait for news."
Adelaide nodded her head in understanding before she turned to Elena and said." We´re going to take Jeremy home."
Bonnie nodded her head before she sighed. She looked between the sisters as she began to explain." I know there´s no way I´m pyschic. I know that." She shook her head." But whatever i saw, or what i think i saw. I have a feeling."
"Bonnie, what?" Elena questioned as she started at her friend.
Bonnie moved her eyes between the sister before she began."That it is just the beginning."
